  • Head to your local farmers market or grocery store and pick up some fresh almonds. Try some different varieties from traditional sweet to slightly salty and savory.
  • Bake a delicious almond cake or tart with homemade almond meal as the base.
  • Make a batch of vegan or vegetarian tacos using chopped, toasted almonds as the filling.
  • Create your own trail mix at home by combining sliced almonds, dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.
  • Indulge in an almond butter and jelly sandwich – use crunchy almond butter instead of regular peanut butter for a nutty twist.
  • Toast whole almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant – sprinkle over salads and desserts for added flavor and crunch. Enjoy!
